We are new owners of a 5 star existing Airbnb! A bright room and relaxing spa await you on your private floor one room suite. You will enjoy your beautiful bed and sitting area, private bathroom and small kitchenette. Step out your front door and into the hot tub overlooking a peaceful pond.
Surrounded by stately trees you will truly feel in Paradise, but be only minutes away from Chico and many fun activities.

Your space is a beautiful 400 sq ft bedroom suite with a private entrance on your own floor. Lots of windows allow for plenty of sunshine and fresh air. Outside your front door is a private patio and hot tub overlooking a peaceful pond fed by a year round creek.
Your "kitchenette" will be stocked with coffee, tea, sweeteners, and cream. In addition you will find some "yummy" breakfast treats.

Our home is located in a quiet neighborhood of Lower Paradise. This means you are only 15 minutes from Chico. There are some wonderful spots to swim, hike and explore.

Johanna's place is a little bit of magic in Paradise. The suite is very private with breath taking views. An evening in the hot tub under the stars will relieve all your stress. Bring your marshmallows to roast in the chiminea. We hope to be back soon.

Beautiful setting, very clean and comfortable. It was my second stay. Debbie

Debbie2017-09-08T00:00:00Z

My dog, Taz, and I spent a lovely couple of nights at this great AirBnB. It was what I hoped for and more. The room is beautiful, very comfortable and had everything I needed to feel at home. The view from the room is spectacular and inspiring. The host, Johanna, was hospitable and a pleasure to communicate with. I'm sure I'll be back.

Charlsey2017-09-21T00:00:00Z

This place is magical, clean, and inviting. I am grateful to Johanna and Harold for their hospitality. This is a must stay, I will be back in the near future. Thank you Johanna and Harold.

Kimberly 2017-09-03T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely time during our stay. The outdoor space was spectacular. It was so relaxing to sit on our private patio and enjoy the surroundings. The bed was very comfortable which is always a giant plus! We hope to be able to stay here next year during our visit!

Robin2017-09-01T00:00:00Z

Beautiful place to stay. Johanna and her husband are delightful. This is my second stay, and I will be returning. Lush, green and beautiful. Very clean and comfortable. Everything you need. Debbie

Debbie2017-09-06T00:00:00Z

Such a beautiful, cozy, quite escape. Minutes from exploring the local towns. Highly recommend - will definitely be returning :)

toni2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

This place was perfect for our needs. We were visiting family that live in Paradise. I wanted to cook meals as a family and have nice dinners together. This place is perfect for that! The kitchen is well stocked with all the amenities we needed and the dining room was perfect. The beds and bedrooms were very comfortable. The living room was very cozy with the fire. It really was a perfect place to gather as a family. Jennifer was super easy to communicate with. The experience overall was superb and we will definitely consider staying here again for future visits to Paradise!

Ryan2017-01-29T00:00:00Z

Love staying here - we enjoy the atmosphere and feel at home.

Shirlene2017-09-18T00:00:00Z

Jennifer's home was very cozy and comfortable--she was a great host--she even provided Breakfast Foods, Coffee, Cream, Juice, Eggs & Bacon with English Muffins! The place was very clean, nicely decorated and had everything we needed as far as Towels, Cable TV, Iron, Hairdryer even Shower gel, & Shampoo. It was like a home away from home. We highly recommend this place if you will be in Paradise, CA. We would definitely stay there again!

Odette2016-11-26T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Jennifer's house was absolutely amazing! We have used airbnb quite a few times over the last couple of years and this has been our best experience. We felt very welcomed and the house was really clean and cozy. The kitchen and bathroom also offered all the amenities one may wish for and more! We had a blast! Thanks Jennifer!

Frédérique2016-12-23T00:00:00Z

Jennifer's home was very lovely and beautifully kept. My favorite part about my stay was being able to sit on the deck and look up at the stars at night -- I forget how beautiful the night sky can be when there aren't any city lights around. My friend and I were also able to enjoy Chico as it is only a short drive away from the house. The house was easy to find and checking in/out was a a breeze. Jennifer is a very responsive host and I would stay here again if I ever find myself in the area.

Aejung2015-10-04T00:00:00Z

Such a cute place and such a great value. You'll never stay in a hotel again no matter where you travel if you stay here!

Kathi2017-07-24T00:00:00Z

We stayed at Jennifer's house for a weekend and had a great time. We arrived late on a Friday night, lighting the fireplace was a breeze and just what we had come for. The bed in the master room was large and comfortable. I would recommend staying here if you're looking for a relaxing getaway.

Newly renovated spacious 2 bedroom, two bath mfg home can sleep up to six. Full size bed in master, trundle day bed 2nd bdrm and full sleeper sofa. Full kitchen, dishes, linens, towels and toiletries provided. Quiet neighborhood.

The description and pictures of the house are very accurate. It is very clean, simple, and quite livable, and is located in a quiet neighborhood. The fresh flowers on the table were a nice touch. The weather was beautiful while we were there and we enjoyed eating outside on the front porch. Scott was not in town while we visited but we were able to communicate through email. I couldn't get cell reception at the house, which makes things a little tricky, but there is a landline there if you need it.

Sara2014-10-19T00:00:00Z

We had a great time at this house, especially the kids! The place was very spacious, with three adults and three children we never felt crowded. We really appreciated how clean everything was and our host's attention to details -from fresh flowers and air conditioned rooms when we arrived to thoughtful amenities and well labeled household features throughout our stay. The property is on a very quiet and private street and ideally located to get to our many destinations in Paradise, Magalia, Oroville, and Chico. This is a great vacation spot for so many outdoor activities. Our only hiccup was that (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Maps wasn't accurate but other mapping programs worked great. So far it is the best place we have stayed in the area and first on our list for a return visit.

Tina2016-07-11T00:00:00Z

We absolutely loved staying here! We have a large family, 7 of us- 3 teenagers and 2 children and the space was perfect! We weren't cramped at all which is exactly what we wanted and Scott made sure everyone had a place to sleep by bringing in an extra cot! Not to mention the house is full of amenities, from toiletries in case you forgot your own, to lots of extra blankets and towels, to tons of kitchen supplies! It was an amazing experience and we will for sure be back here the next time we are in California!

Morgan2016-06-20T00:00:00Z

Everything went great. The place was extremely clean and quiet. We were mainly there as a taking off point for hiking, and it was everything we needed. Scott was always available to answer any questions that came up, for the price/location it's tough to beat. Thanks, Scott!

Bryant2016-05-30T00:00:00Z

The house was very clean, nice, great area for running and just a perfect location. I definitely recommend staying at Scott's place!

Kristen2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

My family has stayed in Scott's home several times. As always it was warm, inviting, clean, and perfect for our trip to Paradise. See you next time, Scott!

Nema2017-02-20T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Scott's was wonderful, relaxing, and super spacious! He had a super clean home, and fun games for kids and adults. Loved the privacy and location. Loved his kitchen window looking out to the front porch. Thanks again Scott!

Gina2017-09-17T00:00:00Z

The whole experience with Mr. Bettis and this wonderful home was awesome! All that stayed loved this home so much we are planning another get away to this house. The house is spacious and had every thing we needed, including a beautiful and quiet environment. Thanks Mr. Bettis, we will be back!!

With a queen bed in the bedroom, there is a flip-flop couch that can accommodate another person in the living room. Kitchenette, with coffee maker, microwave, minigrill, toaster oven and fridge. All make for a cozy stay in this 1Bed/1Bath guesthouse.

*We no longer accept reservations for those without reiews due to prior experiences. Sorry!

There are hiking trails 2 blocks from the house. We are down a private drive, there is NO traffic!

It was a pleasure staying at Jeremiah's place. Its close to the center of Paradise, but feels like the center of a forest. Its a big lot and the guest house is very comfortable. I would strongly recommend it, especially if you are travelling with kids as the garden would be a nice place to play.

Mat2016-02-26T00:00:00Z

We arrived shortly after the 3pm checkin time after 7 hours of driving. The place was a bit tucked away but we found it pretty easily. The key was in the door when we arrived and Jeremiah came out to introduce ourselves and make us feel welcome. It started raining as we got into town, so driving after dark got a bit scary (rural roads without a ton of light), and there weren't a lot of great food options around (everything looked mediocre for the exorbitant price point), but that's no fault of the hosts'. At one point, the septic tank started beeping, but Jeremiah came out quickly to turn it off. The place was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. Overall it was a lovely experience!

Carole Ann2016-10-16T00:00:00Z

The host was very welcoming and communicative. When we arrived at the property, Jeremiah's wife was very hospitable. The location was great and our stay was wonderful.

Theo & Rachel2015-03-21T00:00:00Z

Jeremiah is a super friendly guy! Great price for a lot of space.

McKenzie2016-08-17T00:00:00Z

WE met Jeremiah wife's, who was very helpful. Unit is very large and in nice area.

roger2016-10-06T00:00:00Z

Had a nice quiet private stay at Jeremiah's place in the woods. Lots of nice touches and Jeremiah himself was great to work with, very accommodating to our schedules and he was really helpful.

Jannae2015-03-02T00:00:00Z

This is a really nice place to stay. It is a super cute split-level house, very comfortable and private and located in a quiet location. It has everything you need for a stay. There is not a lot nearby but there is a good market that you can walk to. If you are planning to do your own cooking this is not the place as there is no oven or stove. But there is a refrigerator and microwave, and importantly (for us at least) a coffee maker. Highly recommend it.

Melanie2017-08-09T00:00:00Z

Our country home will feel like home to you. Kitchenette. Immediately adjacent to Butte Creek Estate event center. 20 min. from shopping in University town. 3 Hrs from San Francisco. Pets permitted,huge fenced yard, security gates. May-October

Butte Creek Canyon is a very special place. There is a local museum within walking distance(open 1-4 weekends). There is a cottage close by on our property. We all expect guests to respect their privacy

Mya was an extremely helpful host, who went above and beyond in making the stay as comfortable as possible. She went out of her way when she didn't have to, and is genuinely a good person to be around. Her place a beautiful, and I highly recommend staying here if visiting the area.

Rufus 2016-04-09T00:00:00Z

Mya gave me a TV dinner and a healthy drink upon arrival, showed me around, made me comfortable, then let me be to relax. The location is in a beautiful canyon area. Please note, cell phone reception is spotty. I had to leave early for personal reasons, so I only spent a few hours on the property.

Tracy2015-04-26T00:00:00Z

We have relatives who live in a very secluded area of Chico, in Butte Creek Canyon, and needed a place to stay nearby for a family event. We were delighted to find Maya's place a short five minutes away. Maya's studio is lovely. The bed is comfortable, and the small kitchen set up is adequate for those on the go, like us. Maya was super conscientious in communicating with us, and very welcoming. We are looking forward to our next visit there and hope to be able to linger more at Maya's lovely garden studio.

stephenie2017-06-05T00:00:00Z

I stayed with Mya for 11 days. Each day at her place was absolutely lovely! She is extremely helpful and always available. The property is gorgeous. The room is clean and spacious. The bed is super comfortable! I can never sleep in a hotel but at Mya' s place I slept very well. There is tons of wildlife. Deer everywhere. I even saw a bear one early morning. There is no AC but it really isn't needed. The room stays very cool. I was quite comfotable and hardly noticed it was 108 and humid outside. The only con is the shower doesn't stay hot long enough. If you are looking to get away for peace and tranquillity this is definitely the place for you. My only regret is I couldn't spend more time enjoying all Mya's property has to offer.

Lori2017-08-03T00:00:00Z

Mya's place is truly not to be missed. It's a beautiful oasis in the canyon. She's an amazing host, there's so much to see near her beautiful + unique home, and we had the best time. Do take her advice to go grocery shopping before you arrive :) The pictures don't do Butte Canyon justice — you have to see it to believe it. Don't forget to visit the museum!!!

Mya's place is nice and accurately described. It's very very scenic in the canyon, and down a windy road along beautiful butte creek. Things I loved include: the animals (so many deer, including fawns!! Plus turkeys, chickens, Bella the sweet German Shepard and several cute cats), the sitting area outside by the garden, and how COOL the room stayed even when it was 100 degrees outside!! When I arrived I thought the room could have been cleaner, but there was a vacuum available so I was able to tidy up to my satisfaction easily enough. Sheets and towels were all clean. Plus there's a washer and dryer available which is a big bonus. The price is great too. Mya is friendly and helpful and showed me a few nice places nearby for walks!

House is a stones throw away from a beautiful river with a beach. Lots of windows, views of creek, canyon buttes and surrounding forest. Can accommodate 1-5 guests. Base price is 2 guests @ $150 per night. Each additional guest is $50 per night.

The main bedroom is open for first 2 guests at 175 pernight. 2 more bedrooms available at $50 per person per night. Butte Creek Canyon is 20- 25 minutes from Chico, Calif. This house is located down a path from the parking area. NOT recommended for people who have mobility handicaps. Very comfortable with a rustic yet elegant feel to architecture and landscape. Large deck overlooking Butte Creek with a breathtaking view. House is heated with wood which is provided. Wood fired sauna available Novomber through May.

There are neighbors but not within sight. Lots of wildlife. There are places to walk but one should be mindful of not trespassing. The river is warm enough for swimming late June through September. Hiking is wonderful fall through late spring with expansive views on the buttes.

Marilyn's Butte Creek Getaway was exactly as advertised- quiet, remote and peaceful. The house is truly in the middle of nowhere (she met us at the museum to guide us down the windy dirt road to her house) and was the perfect place to unplug and relax. We fell asleep to the hypnotizing sounds of the flowing river and spent the day lazing around on the deck making art, reading and listening to music. Marilyn goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and have everything you need. If you are looking for somewhere to reconnect with nature and have time to yourself, this is the place is for you!

Caitlin and Greg2016-09-05T00:00:00Z

Gorgeous spot, peaceful, all your troubles drowned out by the babble of the creek. Private and spectacular. No traffic noise whatsoever. Easy access to creek and lovely view of creek from house. House was comfy and beautiful, with the best use of clear-story windows ever, to showcase the Buttes. We were lucky to come during salmon spawning season (this year, early Oct) and witnessed a scene we had previously only seen on BBC nature documentaries. Also, so many tiny, adorable frogs! Host gave us all the privacy we needed, didn't see her after we arrived, but you will need to take her up on her offer to meet you nearby and show you the way.

Jos2016-10-10T00:00:00Z

We just left Marilyn's home. If you love the outdoors doors , you will love it here, she had a nice fire going for us when we got there!

Jennifer2017-04-10T00:00:00Z

The house is even better than described! The location is amazing, the deck and patio are decorated with lights and so inviting. The walk down to the river is close and easy and once at the river, it is scenic and special. Host had a fire going when we arrived, wine & snacks, etc. Made a huge effort to make us feel welcome. If you like to be in nature this is the place to stay.

Jennifer2016-11-06T00:00:00Z

Beautiful, scenic location. Excellent host. Great for kids!

Grace2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

Marilyn was a wonderful host. We were supplied with much more than we bargained for and her cabin felt like a home away from home. It was very spacious, cozy and comfortable with beautiful scenery all around. If you forgot anything at home you'll likely find it here, so no worries about that! We just might have to return again in the future. ☺

Stefani2016-10-16T00:00:00Z

Amazing retreat right on the creek outside of Chico - private, remote, beautiful. The salmon in the creek were amazing to see, the creek was fun to swim in, blackberries everywhere and saw a ton of wildlife!

Eric2016-07-31T00:00:00Z

My wife and I had a very, very relaxing and peaceful stay at Marilyn's Butte Creek getaway. It is well off the beaten path....very private setting. The sound of the creek and the cool shade of the trees was just what we had hoped for. Marilyn was a very helpful host. She met us at the old school house/museum, and we followed her down the gravel road to the house. Very interesting history to the property as well....I always wanted to explore this area of Butte County.

Bedrooms

Great outdoor seating, a 1/4 mile from the local museum, close to Centerville Estates where weddings, meetings and conventions take place. Nice for bicyclists. Smoking outdoors only.

I love my neighborhood because of the privacy and beauty. I say it's like living at summer camp. There is a rental cottage on my property, but it's the only lights you'll probably see. We always respect their privacy.

While difficult to get to, this hideaway is well worth the visit. Very spacious and comfortable, the room itself was wonderful, and the surrounding garden area was beautifully maintained and is a real treat after a day of travelling!

Jared2017-09-03T00:00:00Z

Very nice place. very welcoming and took us in very late on short notice. definitely would go again.

danica2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

Mya was so accommodating! She had such a lovely room with a beautiful garden. The mini fridge was stocked with little treats and drinks. Coffee in the freezer for the morning. Will definitely be visiting her again if I'm ever in the area.

Ross2016-04-25T00:00:00Z

Best AirBandB host and overall experience at a magical place. May was warm and beyond accommodating even in the face of short notice booking and changes in our arrival time. The room was beautifully set up, with a very comfortable mattress and luxuriouse bedding. She even stocked the fridge with small food items, drinks and cookies. Could not imagine a better night in Paradise! The grounds of this custome home are extraordinary and the surrounding mountains are breathtaking. Don't miss the Honey road covered bridge down the road!

Maria2016-10-02T00:00:00Z

This was our first Airbnb experience. I can only hope that all of our Airbnb trips are all as good as this! Mya was wonderful. She helped us with hiking suggestions as well as excellent restaurant choices. The decor in the room (including the bathroom) is wonderful and the flower garden outside the room is nice. The hot tub right outside our door was great to relax in after a day exploring the Butte Creek Canyon and local farms & wineries on the Sierra Oro Farm Trail. It is 10 miles away from the noise of the city... a perfect place to relax! We will return when our travels bring us back to the Chico area again!

STEPHEN2016-10-09T00:00:00Z

What a great place! Off the beaten path and quite lovely. Mya was so helpful with tips about the area, clear instructions on getting in and out of the gated property, and has a friendly place to land. The room was very comfortable and the grounds around the house are beautiful. There's a pond with a bullfrog!

Debbie2016-05-31T00:00:00Z

Mya's place was very peaceful and a great stay. She was quick on replying back on me requesting a room, very thorough directions on how to get there. beautiful and worth a second time.

danica2017-08-26T00:00:00Z

Such a treat, secluded and pretty and comfortable. It's gated and so your car is safe and it feels like it's own studio. The bathroom is very special, it's design is one of a kind.

Wow! Where to even begin talking about how great this place is!! I guess I can just start by agreeing whole heartedly with all the other fabulous reviews and then add that my daughter and I had a fabulous stay and are so glad we stayed at Bella Vista in aptly named Paradise. This perfect spot is only 20 minutes from downtown Chico but feels a world away. The pool is ridiculously gorgeous especially at night when the landscaping and pool are all lit up. Gazing from the edge of the infinity pool out to the canyon is breathtaking - maybe I sound a bit corny here but it really is. Colleen and John could not have been more welcoming and gracious to us. Yes, breakfast was included and was healthy and delicious. This is the Four Seasons and then some at a Best Western price...what a find. Thanks Colleen and John - we will definately be back on future visits to Chico.

Chris2013-08-24T00:00:00Z

John and Colleen are as welcoming as you can get. Very friendly, kind, and attentive. They are eager to make sure you have a great time. They have a wonderful house with attached private bathrooms. Their backyard is a destination in itself. A palm springs like get away. I had a great time staying with them.

Philip2015-05-26T00:00:00Z

Colleen and John are the best. I felt like I was staying with family. Their hospitality is above and beyond what you'd receive at a 5 star hotel and the rooms are simply lovely, spacious and so comfortable. Colleen goes out of her way to make you feel welcome. She even bought me my Greek yogurts and OJ with pulp. Thank You! I can't wait to go up North again and really take time to relax and enjoy this gorgeous property. I was on a business trip and brought my 17 year old son so I was only able to stay two nights. My son was blown away at the beauty Paradise has and the view from the house. I would recommend this B & B to anyone who loves comfy accommodations and extreme wonderful hospitality! Don't we all?? Oh, the cookies are wonderful and breakfast is excellent, too. Colleen loves to cook! What a delight! Can't wait to take my husband! Thank you again John and Colleen.

kim2014-08-23T00:00:00Z

John and Colleen were wonderful hosts. They made us feel welcome to their home the moment they greeted us at the door and were very easy to talk to. Their home is gorgeous and the room we stayed in was very clean, comfortable and was accurately described in the listing. The neighborhood was quiet and secluded. Of special note is the view from the backyard...simply amazing!! We had a great time and even plan to visit again this coming summer.

Candice2015-02-15T00:00:00Z

Three days later and we are still basking in the glow of our weekend in Paradise. With a niece's graduation to attend in Chico, we made the right decision to stay out of the frenzied atmosphere but close enough to enjoy every event. The drive from I-99 to Bella Vista was rather confusing at first, but by the second time we drove the route we looked forward to it transporting us to the peace and tranquility offered by Colleen and John Coger and their warm and inviting estate. The house is perfect in every way -- elegant but not at all stuffy, the bedroom suites have everything you could possibly want including wonderfully firm beds, and the living areas can only be described as grand. "Paradise" is the only word adequate to describe the grounds. Anything else would do no justice to the infinity pool, various seating and fire pit conversation areas and the magnificent panoramic, unobstructed view of the valley and the mountains. And the hosts, Colleen and John are a truly charming couple who treated us as if we were valued friends and guests coming for a weekend. This estate would be perfect to use as a venue for a wedding for 50-100 people, a charity function, a corporate retreat or a family event. Colleen is a stellar cook, judging from breakfast and other goodies and a master function planner and hostess. Imagine being able to invite your guests to attend your wedding in Paradise, and then spend your honeymoon there! Bet you'll have as beautiful a marriage as Colleen and John!

Mia2013-05-27T00:00:00Z

It was a wonderful experience staying at the suite! The view is stunning and the home is carefully designed by the lovely owners. Breakfast, Internet, parking, swimming pool, oversize shower. We really couldn't expect more! It was a "four season" experience. Would definitely stay here during next business trip.

What a wonderful escape, this is a beautiful home and setting, unbelieveable views of the canyon. The home is well appointed, beds very comfortable, breakfast was excellent. John, Colleen, and Jackson were the perfect hosts. We used the estate as a base to go to Chico, kayaking at lake Orville, and hiking on table mountain to see the wild flowers. Evenings were spent relaxing with a bottle of wine enjoying the infinity pool and views of the canyon. Will return over and over again!!!

Our stay with John and Colleen was wonderful! Truly exceeded our expectation! Their home was lovely and so comfortable to stay with our 3 kids. The pool area and views were relaxing anytime of day.

Chad and Emily are really nice and their place is beautiful. Comfortable and clean and they were flexible when I checked in late. Breakfast was tasty and hanging out in the creek was a highlight. I would love to stay here again.

Elizabeth2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

Chad and Emily have a very nice place. They were very welcoming and eager to help. The bed was super comfy. The neighborhood was quiet. I appreciated the coffee they offered in the morning. One of the best places I've stayed at.

This is a private room off the main family room and kitchen. The family is very accommodating. You should be aware they have 4 younger children and 1 dog. It was fine by me but some may not want that. The room was clean and quiet.

This is a home with loving, hospitable people who open their home to complete strangers!! I am so glad that I was one of the complete strangers!!! Loved my stay!

Had a nice stay. Cynthia helped us with restaurant information.

Darrin2015-10-09T00:00:00Z

Cynthia and Brent are such wonderful hosts! We really appreciated all the pleasant conversation, breakfast assortment, and general warmth and welcome we felt there. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to feel like they're staying with friends on their trip :)

Christine2014-10-11T00:00:00Z

Our stay with Brent and Cynthia was wonderful! The room was very comfy, and stayed nice and cool despite the 90+ degree heat outside. The rest of their house and yard is lovely, and they are very accomodating! We had some great conversations with Cynthia, and enjoyed their tasty coffee and fresh grapes. We'd love to come here again!

Alice2015-07-26T00:00:00Z

We stayed at Brent & Cynthia's over the weekend for a wedding we were attending. This was our first time using airb&b and it was a great experience. They were both very friendly and hospitable towards us. The room was clean and comfortable. We were greeted in the morning with a very nice continental breakfast (yogurt, bagels, fruit). The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. We definitely recommend this if you're staying in Chico- it's a great value! Thanks Brent & Cynthia!

Melissa2014-10-05T00:00:00Z

A very welcoming and comfortable home!

Jane2015-04-16T00:00:00Z

A most gracious welcome and a comfortable room. This home is located away from town, which was perfect for us. Our travel plans had us arriving late and departing early one night, so we didn't get much time there; but we know it would have been very pleasant to stay longer. Great coffee! And super hosts.

Troy & Carla2014-10-06T00:00:00Z

Brent and Cynthia were great hosts. My husband and I only stayed for one night, but really enjoyed the cozy home, the room with a view of the canyon, Brent's and Cynthia's hospitality, the conversations, and last but not least, the great coffee in the morning! We will be in Chico frequently in the next few months and would definitely like to stay with Brent and Cynthia again.

Sigrid2015-06-15T00:00:00Z

We had a great experience. Exactly as advertised. Host were very friendly and informative. We would definitely stay here again if visiting Chico.

Our beautifully renovated home sits on 1/2 acre in Butte Creek Canyon, just 5 minutes from Chico and 10 minutes from downtown. Our home was recently renovated (2014) and is decorated with a chic rustic flare. Available for families for grad weekend!

The home is set on half an acre in the beautiful Butte Creek canyon. It is 1500 square feet, 3 bedrooms 1 bath (1 bedroom is an office). While you feel far away from the rest of the world, you're only ten minutes from downtown Chico. Across the street is the Chico State Nature preserve and behind our house is over 4000 acres of open space. You will often see cows grazing the grass back there and deer running through our property.

It's quiet, friendly and serene.

They welcomed us with a plate of home made cookies, which was awesome. We needed things like spices and butter. All the kitchen things we might need were made available to us. Very nice place, comfortable. Everything is new. Love being out in the country. It was great.

Our home is located right outside of Chico city limits, just 10 minutes from downtown, Chico State University, and Sierra Nevada Brewery. We own 3 acres along Little Chico Creek with gardens and a small orchard. Our home looks down on an open field. You’ll love our home because it is cozy and quiet, yet close to town. It is good for couples, solo adventurers, University guests, and business travelers. We are a retired teacher and a retired wildlife biologist.

Your room is furnished with family heirloom antique furniture from the 1880's. The bed is full size, but they made them shorter then! If you are over 6' 1" tall you may have to sleep diagonally! A full bath with combination tub and shower, and lots of Mexican tile, is located just outside your guest room door. Two doors that lead to outside porches are also close at hand.

Our neighborhood is semi-rural. It's just far enough from downtown to offer quiet relaxation, but close enough to still be convenient. It is a safe area in which to walk and bicycle ride. Several of our neighbors keep horses.

The property is so beautiful you won't want to check out. You can sit outside in the evening on the porch and little Chico creek ripples nearby. Truly peaceful, beautifully maintained home and environs. Hostess perfectly welcoming!

Miela2017-03-19T00:00:00Z

If you are looking for a quiet and beautiful stay, this place is for you! Rebecca was quick to respond to my questions and provided thorough directions. We came in late at night and Rebecca waited for us, showed us the place, and chatted with us for a while. The room and bathroom were comfortable and clean. There was coffee, tea and other breakfast items layed out and ready in the morning, which was a lovely touch. For the price of the room, all of this was a great value. Rebecca's place is about 10-15 minutes from downtown Chico and Chico state university. I highly recommend staying here and would come again!

Patti2017-04-08T00:00:00Z

Rebecca & Rich are wonderful hosts and have a lovely home. I stayed for three nights and they made me feel right at home. The home location has a country vibe yet close to town. A quiet place to rest and relax. Thank you again Rebecca & Rich for a lovely stay!

Jennifer2017-08-29T00:00:00Z

Always gracious hosts!

Miela2017-05-08T00:00:00Z

This is an absolutely lovely space only a few minutes out of town. Definitely a good value & the hosts are extremely friendly. They were kind to my daughter & shared some instruments & conversation with her. I would have liked to stay longer but I just needed a night & they were so gracious to put it all together with only a couple hours notice.

Damian2016-12-10T00:00:00Z

These are wonderful hosts and the location just the thing for a stress-free stay in Chico.

Miela2017-04-10T00:00:00Z

Rebecca's home is beautiful and very relaxing. She is very accommodating and easy to talk to. Highly recommend if you're looking for a great place to stay!

Kelli2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

This is a beautifully built home in a quiet countryside location. The hosts are easy-going generous and flexible.

Located about 5 miles from downtown Chico, California State University, Chico and Enloe Hospital, our house in Stilson Canyon- a quiet, eclectic neighborhood with barns, horse pens and modern homes set along Little Chico Creek. During winter and spring months, the fields and hills around our home will be bright green and you might hear the creek rushing by at night.

Lizzie was an absolute sweetheart and very welcoming. Her home was beautiful, surrounded by gardens in a quiet neighborhood. The room itself does not disappoint - it was full of charming pieces, bright and white, very clean, and the beautiful restroom and nice balcony/patio are the absolute finishing touches. For those of you looking for privacy, Lizzie and her husband sleep in a completely different area of the house. For those of you who like lively conversation, Lizzie is fun and easy to talk to! She left her number for me to contact if anything was needed. Thank you again!

Lizzette2017-08-17T00:00:00Z

Lizzie & John's place is just beautiful. They were very welcoming and we felt very comfortable. Hope we get to come back soon!

Regina2017-08-19T00:00:00Z

Beautiful home away from home! Was passing through Chico to visit friends for a couple days and staying in Elizabeth's home made for a lovely experience! Everything was exactly as the posting described- fabulous view, comfy bed and impeccable bathroom (it seemed brand new!). Felt away from it all while being super close to town. Her neighbors even have horses. :) Also, we love Elizabeth! We decided to stay pretty private during our two days there but loved the brief conversations we did have with our host. She's a delight! Thanks for a great stay!

Jennifer2017-07-14T00:00:00Z

Can't say enough good things about this place. The sitting room/dining area is large and has it's own separate entrance. Upstairs, the very large light bedroom and private deck are wonderful. It has a walkin closet and very upgraded bath. We especially loved the bed with the softest linens ever. At night the deck stargazing was amazing, no light pollution. Sunrise on that deck is stunning as it rises through the huge oak trees. It is just 5 minutes from town up a treed canyon. Perfect location, quiet country feeling, but close to all Chico has to offer. Outside on the downstairs patio are rocking chairs. The garden, views and birds here made it even better. A giant covey of quail comes by most every day. Most of all, the couple that owns the large house and lives in the other part were relaxed, informative, fun people. A real bonus. We stayed there while waiting for our house to close escrow and couldn't have been happier.
